Throttle cable run

Hello folks, despite searching I can't find the following info:
I'm rebuilding a Strada (only taken about 8 years so far

) and am at the throttle cable stage. I have a twin pull twistgrip and could do with a picture of a typical cable run, so if anyone has their tank off at the moment I'd be greatly obliged.
Cheers.

I found this comment on another thread which may help: "Both cables run from the throttle to the left of the steering head; then one on top of the other below the left front petrol tank mount, then above an earth connection, then the right cable crosses over between the top, large diameter frame tube and the smaller frame tube below it, then on the inside of the high tension cable going into the black box."

Thanks for that - however, I think I've sorted it. Along the top tube right side, through the forks and loop over the brake lever in a generous arc.
Anyway, fired up OK yesterday and seems to run OK like that (though I still have the tank, instruments and headlight to mount).
